Gangs of Britain: Liverpool

Liverpool, a city with a storied past, has also been marked by the presence of gangs. From the notorious Strand Gang, known for its involvement in smuggling and illegal activities in the 19th century, to the more recent Croxteth Crew and Norris Green Gang, Liverpool's gang culture has been a complex and evolving phenomenon. These gangs have been involved in a range of criminal activities, including drug dealing, extortion, and violence, contributing to periods of heightened tensions and conflicts within the city. Despite efforts by law enforcement and community initiatives aimed at tackling gang-related issues, the challenge of addressing the underlying social and economic factors that contribute to gang formation remains an ongoing struggle for Liverpool.
